About me 

About me page - My name is Kate and this is my stress relief website. I am a trained stress advisor (RCN accredited and CPD certificated).

My main aim for building this website was to help others, who like me have or are suffering from stress which is controlling their lives.

This Is My Story

I am now in my forties but through many of my teenage and early twenties I suffered from panic attacks which prevented me from enjoying this time in my life.

At the time I had no idea what panic attacks were and how they were caused. I was frightened and confused and turned in on myself, shutting myself away from my friends and not getting involved with life in general. This stopped me going to college or finding a job I enjoyed and I lost touch with most of my friends.

Luckily for me someone came along who helped me to understand what was happening and that my panic attacks were caused by the stresses I was feeling in my life at that time. With their help I overcame my stress and the panic attacks stopped.

Stress can affect people in all sorts of ways but generally not in a positive way. I know how I felt, I have seen other stressed people and I see how it is affects their health and enjoyment of life. And it tears me apart to think that lots of people are suffering all because they have little understanding of what stress actually is and how easily it can be controlled with some simple life changes and some positive stress relief techniques and coping strategies.

I decided that with my experience of stress and its ill effects I would provide some help and guidance to others, so that they too can come out the other side and enjoy a healthier happier life. I trained as a stress advisor so that the advice and Guidance I gave was backed up with a qualification and could be trusted.

I hope you will find the information on this site helpful and that you can find a stress relief strategy that works for you.
